Al naso si avvertono evidenti sentori fruttati, impreziositi da note che tendono allo speziato, da cui emerge anche un lieve tocco legnoso. All’assaggio è di ottimo corpo, ampio e fasciante, rotondo e appagante, con un sorso caloroso che termina con un retrogusto gradevolmente tannico. Lo spirito di Montalcino viene racchiuso dalla cantina Frescobaldi, realtà storica che vanta diversi secoli di tradizione nel mondo del vino, in questo grande rosso, ideale per accompagnare i secondi piatti a base di selvaggina.
